Again, other nations had loyalists from the Citadel, but Breland had the Citadel itself, including the resources and the cultural pride in the institution. Karrnath and Thrane had the fewest people in the Citadel to begin with (it not appealing to the character of the typical citizen), and a harder time building a program around them for that same reason. With that said, an important point to remember is that you didn't have a perfect split down national lines. Some people from all nations surely chose to stand with Mishann as the rightful queen, again given Cyre a small but cosmopolitan base to work with. Some devotees of the Flame likely defected to Thrane - and you'd have another round of this when the church assumed power. Meanwhile you have foreigners who stay with the nation - the Cyran who says "No, I think Wroaan has the best claim" or perhaps simply saying that loyalty to the Citadel comes before the games of kings and queens. At that point, as the higher up, you have to ask if you can trust such a person - though that's what Eyes of Aureon are for. I am inclined to agree. With that said... The Argentum is a small and specialized agency, not really comparable to the Royal Eyes or the Citadel. Thrane has a number of small organizations with specialized functions, one of which may be discussed later in the year in EoE (just saying). Within these specialties, they have the advantage of being able to employ divine power and rituals which give them a different set of tools to work with. But nonetheless, these are much smaller groups than the other nations, and they simply don't have the scope of something like the Citadel. Of course, Thrane does have the greatest access to Augury and Commune, when it comes to gathering intelligence...Which is essentially how the Fifth Crown is depicted in The Fading Dream. </blockquote>
